Does anybody like random facts...anyway, I am like the Queen of Randomnness so I am gonna fill you in a bit.
Did you know that flamingos are pink because they eat prawns...(or was it shrimps?)
Um...just came back from an art museum...there was an exhibition where it was a room full of shoes made out of different coloured human hair...(shivers)
Please review and please don't flame me.

Chapter 4 – Blackmailing Sessions

Hotaru started flicking through the pictures.
"No…No…No…No" she said as she categorized them into 2 piles…usable and non-usable.
The usable ones had about 3 pictures whilst the other pile had about 100 pictures, she can't used them since they were either blurred, exposed to light or someone stood in front of her 'models'.
She sighed.
Her business is going down with the Natsume and Ruka merchandise. Their fan club demanded these pictures and the deadline is coming soon, but she couldn't capture anything good.
Mikan who was sitting next to her asked her, "Something wrong?"
Hotaru looked back at her blankly.
Mikan picked up the piles of unsorted picture on Hotaru's desk and started flicking through the pictures, "Ah…so you are trying to get hold of some pictures of them?"
Hotaru still looks back at her blankly, but Mikan knows that it's a 'yes'.
"Blackmail no doubt. Just like what you used to do to me when we were little."
"Huh? You two knew each other?" asked Yuu.
"Why? Yes of course, childhood best friends in fact."
"I didn't know that."
"Well, you do now." Hotaru said coldly.
Sumire came into view, "Imai-san, have you got the pictures yet?"
"It'll be ready by tomorrow, which is the deadline." She said dismissively.
But when Sumire was out of view Hotaru sighed. One day to go and she haven't got any more inventions or ideas to help her.
Nonoko, Anna, Koko came into view (they heard their whole conversation), "Hotaru, why don't you just tell her that you can't do it?" Anna said as she stole a glance at the two boys at the back.
Hotaru looked at them, with rabbit signs in her eyes, "Because they pay me good money."
Nonoko, Anna, Koko and Yuu sweat dropped.
"Don't worry Hotaru. I'll help you."
The group looked at Mikan giving a mysterious smile, they wondered what she has on her mind right now.
They knew she was bored because for several days she hasn't got into any fights with Natsume, and she needed to take her boredom away with something. (So she gets into fights with Natsume for fun, huh?)
"But we will have to halve the profit." She added as an after thought.
The group sweat dropped. Yep, they are definitely best friends.
"Only if the pictures turned out fine."
"Deal." This is going to be fun. And she started laughing out loud like a weirdo.
The group looked quite scared; I wonder what plans she has in her mind. I sure do hope no one will get hurt in the process.
But Hotaru smirked at her, this is going to be good; I know she will have tricks up her sleeves.
The rest of their classmates sweat dropped at the weird sight: Mikan laughing like a psycho, Hotaru with rabbit signs in her eyes, their paled-face friends looked disturbed by something (purple stripes on thier foreheads).
Natsume and Ruka glanced at them. They had a feeling that they are up to something bad…and they also had a feeling that it involves them somewhere in their plans.
I hope it's nothing embarassing about me. Ruka thought as he nervously stroked his pet rabbit.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Natsume had a nagging feeling and he suddenly turned around.
"What's wrong Natsume?' his best friend asked.
"Nothing."
He walked several steps and then turned around again.
"Honestly Natsume, what's wrong?'
"I have a feeling that someone is following us." Natsume replied as he cast a suspicious glance behind him.
A breeze brushed past Ruka that made Ruka shiver. I think Natsume is right.
"Okay that's it. Whoever you are show yourself." Natsume said to the empty corridor.
No answer. A breeze swept (due to how stupid this scene looks).
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
When they came back to the classroom after lunch they saw lots of people huddled around Mikan and Hotaru.
The room was full of excited chatter.
"Wow…these pictures came out better than I thought." Sumire squeaked as she looked at the pictures she ordered.
Natsume and Ruka who walked up to the group snatched the pictures out of her hand to see what they were so excited about.
His veins popped.
When Sumire noticed it was Natsume who snatched the pictures she blushed bright red.
The pictures were of Natsume and Ruka, in every angle possible, the pictures was of everything they did for the past week.
The two of them then pushed past the crowd to where the two girls sat.
Natsume shot them an evil look whilst Ruka was blushing madly and looked down at the ground.
There in front of them were pictures of EVERY embarrassing moment they have had this past week.
"Like the pictures?" Mikan gave a satisfied and triumphant look when she looked at Natsume. Hotaru just smirked at her two 'models'.
There in front of the two boys were pictures of:
Natsume falling down a tree,
Weird Ruka playing with Piyo,
Natsume falling flat-faced on a path, (which made the two girls to be in a non-stop hysterical fit for the next 3 hours after they took it.)
Ruka blushing bright red...at a little female piglet,
Narumi kissing Natsume on the forehead, (to make him faint when he was in a bad mood – like in episode 2…or was it 3)
And then Mikan showed Natsume a picture…a picture of Natsume walking out of the girl's changing room – blushing madly, which she was laughing at and Natsume turned around to hide his slightly red-tinted face.
"Wait…I don't remember taking this picture." Mikan then turned around to face Hotaru, "when was this taken?"
"Two days ago." Was Hotaru's simple answer.
Mikan was rummaging in her head for a certain memory…something bothered her about this picture then…no, no, no…NO!
"You were the pervert who walked into the changing room whilst I was changing!"
Natsume smirked, "It's not like I did it on purpose to see a little girl changing."
"If you aren't a pervert then you would answer when I asked who it was!" She screamed as she launched herself at Natsume, who dodged and she ended up falling flat-face on the ground.
Whilst the two were fighting Yuu decided to ask Hotaru how they took all these pictures.
"She used her Alice to make us invisible."
Ruka sweat dropped, so they were the ones that were following us.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
The next day, the two girls set up a stall outside.
Lots of students…and teachers (who just found the pictures to be so cute and not to mention funnily embarrassing) bought the pictures.
The pictures were out of stock in record time. (Maybe it will find itself in the Guinness Book of Records…who knows?)
The profit made the two girls to be the two richest students in the academy.(After all they did black-mail the two most popular boys in the Academy.)
When they were finished with their stall they sat in their classroom.
Hotaru smirked at Mikan; "We have to do this again sometime."
"Sure. When I need the money."
The class sweat dropped at their superficiality.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
If the next two chapters are as I have planned it, it is going to be really twisted…and wrong. (P.S Yep, it's going to be more twisted than previous chapters…brace yourselves.)
Mwahahahaha…I am going to have so much fun writing them.
Next Chapter: The Homicidal Bear makes its entrance
Next Next Chapter: Jin Jin's crush.
